Christ First
In First Corinthians, Paul calls the church to put First Things First. Chapters 1-4 introduce us to a church that seesm more interested in Corinth than in Christ. Paul reminds the church of their spiritual blessings that come from God and not from their own works. He also confronts their errors, pride and superiority claims by pointing out that they are co-heirs with Christ and should live like it.
In this series, Pastor Steve will open up the scriptures and unpack the truths of scripture, revealing our own attitudes of self-righteousness and our need to put First Things First.

Our resource this month is The God Conversation: Using Stories and Illustrations to Explain Your Faith by J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff.
Our beliefs are challenged from many directions. Every day it seems more difficult to explain to our friends, families and neighbors what we believe and why. In The God Conversation veteran apologists and communicators J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff say that often the best way to win over others is with a good story. Stories have the ability to get behind our preconceptions and defenses. They can connect both emotionally and intellectually, appealing to the whole person rather than just to the mind.
The God Conversation offers penetrating illustrations, examples and quotes your friends, co-workers and loved ones will ponder long after a conversation is over.
We want to send you The God Conversation as our way of saying “Thank you!” when you make a donation during the Christ First series.
